"They Taught Us Well"
Many years before we were born, our parents crossed the Rio Bravo to give us
a better life. Our parents have worked hard to learn new language and
different customs. It hasn't been easy for them. But they have taught us so
much.

They have taught us to be proud of who we are and what we believe in.

They taught us to cook tamales and tortillas so we will remember the masica
of our homeland.

They taught us to live a good life and celebrate culture.

They taught us to honor those who have died and hold on to our memories of
them.

They taught us to be a family, to stick together no matter what, la familia.
